remain on the scene. now, they put the fire out quickly and we spoke to authorities a short time ago. they say at least one person was hurt. we will continue to monitor any new developments and bring them to you as they come in. >> all right, we'll keep an eye on that but for now we're going the keep an eye on your weather and traffic here on this tuesday, october 14th. let's go on over to meteorologist, david murphy and to karen rogers. good morning to both of you. >> all right, matt, tam and karen. we're starting out cloudy two two-thirds of the region, the southern half down in delaware and extreme south jersey it looks like there's less cloud cover. we're also on the lookout for some fog development. that's going to be mainly in the northern and western suburbs. but so far it hasn't been all that big of a problem. mild out there this morning, though. 66 degrees in philadelphia, 66 in allentown, 68 in reading, 63 in trenton. a pair 67's on the boardwalk and winds are light for now. as we head outside to get that car started or catch the bus, 66 by 8:00 a.m., partly cloudy and again some fog is possible and for those of you headed out to school, grab that

smartphone and make sure the storm tracker 6 app is on it. you're going to want to keep your eye on temperatures today. it's going to get warm. 69 degrees by 8 o'clock. by noon 76 warm degrees and there's your high, 78 degrees today at about 3 o'clock and we're still in the mid 70's by 6 o'clock feeling like summer this afternoon. more of the same tomorrow with higher humidity, karen, and then some summer-like thunderstorms are possible. details coming up. >> got to take the good with the bad. all right. good looking commute so far looking live at i-95, this is the betsy ross bridge. southbound traffic headed towards center city we can see no major delays at this point. you're looking good right here on i-95. matt and tam we're talking about the fire location here and vista street near torresdale afanasenkov void that area if you can. stick to bleigh avenue to avoid any problems you have with crews on the scene right there. on the boulevard southbound here between welsh and whitaker we've got construction blocking the inner drive northbound near ryan construction blocking the left lane so construction northbound and southbound still going on on the boulevard right now. in hatboro we had a disabled

vehicle s-it just cleared right here by berry road between penn street and new street looking better right now and the construction looking good as well n bellmawr camden county 295 both ways at 168 we've got construction blocking two lanes and that's for about another half hour, matt and tam. >> thank you, karen. also this morning breaking overnight a un medical worker has died at a german hospital. this man had contracted ebola while working in liberia in west africa. he then went to germany arriving at that hospital for treatment five days ago. and this is the latest as efforts to treat an infected american nurse go on. "action news" reporter erin o'hearn is live at the big board. she's got more. good morning, erin. >> good morning, tam. that un medical worker infected with ebola in liberia died despite intensive medical procedures. the 56-year-old man whose name has not been released died overnight of the infection after testing positive for ebola back on october 6th. meanwhile 26-year-old nina

pham a nurse who contracted ebola while caring for thomas eric duncan remains in isolation in stable condition. officials do not know how pham contracted the disease and fear there could be more cases. on the job pham wore protective gear you see there, a gown, a face mask and shield, two layers of gloves and shoe covers but all of this is less protection than the doctors in specialized bio containment hospitals are required to wear. those facilities require medical workforce wear chemical resistant jump suits with their sleeves and gloves taped to suits and boots. some health professionals wonder if authorities should require ebola patients to be sent to those specialized containment hospitals. >> if this one individual was infected and we don't know how within the isolation unit, then it is possible that other individuals could have been infected as well. >> take a look at this map. montana, nebraska, georgia, maryland, what i like about those places for years they've

been practicing for just this kind of event. >> hospitals across the country are now reviewing and practicing how to deal with ebola patients and protect healthcare professionals. also an experimental vaccine is now being tested on volunteers in maryland which officials say is 100 percent effective on animals. but again, our breaking news this morning, that un medical worker who was being treated in germany for ebola has died overnight. tam, back to you. >> okay, erin thank you for that. and a lot of people are probably wondering how can i help. here's a way. "action news" is hosting a phone bank today to raise money for the fight against eastbound l members from the red cross and the local liberian community will be on hand to take your donations. just call (877)940-6222 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. if you missed that don't worry, matt and i are tweeting this info out, too and you can check our pages for it. >> developing right now philadelphia police are trying to track down the gunmen responsible for two separate

shootings that happened just hours apart. the latest one turned into a homicide. "action news" reporter katherine scott filed this report early this morning. >> reporter: three people shot in two separate shootings in a matter of hours in philadelphia last night. just before 9 o'clock police were called out to castor's finest barbershop on the 7100 block of castor avenue in northeast philadelphia. the 33-year-old owner was on the floor behind the counter shot four times. the store had already closed up for the night when the shots were fired. he was taken to the hospital in critical condition but is expected to survive. he told police there were two men wearing hoodies involved. investigators have located nearby surveillance cameras. >> hopefully these cameras recorded our shooters either coming to or leaving from the scene. >> reporter: then just after 11:30 in north philadelphia, a the least 32 shots were fired from two separate weapons. shell casings were scattered across the 2100 block of uber

street. a 24-year-old man was hit multiple times. he was soon pronounced dead. a 46-year-old woman was hit once in the leg. she was taken to the hospital in stable condition. >> the shell casings were some within inches, some within feet of where these two victims were shot which is an indication that these victims were shot from point blank range. >> reporter: both live at that address in two separate apartments and had been sitting out on the front steps much police believe he was the intended target. >> there's a possibility that this 46-year-old female was an innocent victim who happened to be with this 24-year-old homicide victim when the shooting took place. >> reporter: katherine scott, channel6 "action news." >> and we have breaking news here, a major earthquake in central america. the magnitude 7.4 quake rumbled off the pacific coastline and could be felt throughout several countries overnight. the epicenter of the quake was about 100 miles southeast of san salvador. these are pictures we're just getting in.

tremors were felt from guatemala to costa rica. no of course have been reported and there is no tsunami warning in place. >> a deadly storm system covering a third of the nation is moving east. this is brand new video from alabama where a tree fell crashed into a mobile home and killed a woman inside. a state of emergency has been declared in louisiana. the storm spawned tornadoes in several states including arkansas and missouri. >> they're saying this will weaken once it reaches our region right david. >> yeah, but there's still a chance of a gusty thunderstorm or two tomorrow afternoon. we'll show that to you on future tracker 6 give you a and idea of when it looks like it will be here. storm tracker 6 live double scan shows us that we're dry. one potential issue this morning has been the potential for the development of some fog but so far the heavy stuff is up north of where it says storm tracker there, well up into the poconos and a little bit of a blip out north of harrisburg so no big problems with fog just yet in our area. as we take a look outside, we have a nice picture down the boardwalk in atlantic city with that ferris wheel that

they just put up this spring. i really like that. that's nice. i like the way that sort of does little light dance for us in the morning. and not a lot of wind out there right now which is part of the reason why we have the potential of fog developing. right now 66 degrees is your temperature. dewpoint 63. winds are light at 3 miles per hour. and satellite shows you that we do have a fair amount of cloud cover around. i'll go ahead and bring in that always on day planner for you so you can kind of glance ahead into the afternoon if you'd like. we do have some clearing down in southern delaware and perhaps in cape may county, so you might see a little bit more early sun there than elsewhere but eventually these clouds are going to break up enough to give us at least a clouds and sun mix through much of the day. temperatures, that is the story today. it is going to be warm. 66 by 8 o'clock but by 11:00, as soon as 11 o'clock we're into the mid 70's and then the upper 70's through the afternoon with a high of 78 at around 3:00. some urban centers like center city might even get up closer to 80 degrees for at least a brief period this afternoon. high temperatures looking like the mid 70's up in allentown.

77 in reading, 78 in trenton, philadelphia and wilmington and even at the shore where it sometimes is a little bit cooler. we're still looking at mid 70's for highs today. went get into tomorrow and early tomorrow morning at 6:30 while we're on the air, looks like the clouds will start to increase a little bit. that will continue into the late morning and early afternoon hours and by about lunchtime out in the western suburbs there's the chance of some heavy downpour producing showers and then maybe some thunderstorms in the afternoon. this is future tracker 6's latest look at 4 o'clock and while this may change a little bit i think the general idea is correct as we get later into the afternoon the better chance we have of some heavy downpour producing showers and perhaps some thunderstorms. and there could be more of that right up until 10, 11 o'clock when cecily and adam are on channel 17 and channel 6 respectively to show you storm tracker 6 live, okay. hurricane gonzalo has become a hurricane, it's jumped up to category two status although it is veering out to sea away from puerto rico. looks like it could become a

major congress three hurricane by thursday and then by friday keep your eyes on this one if you have travel plans to bermuda because it looks like this storm is going to be going very close to bermuda as a category two either friday night or saturday morning. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, 78 degrees, very warm out there today. pretty pleasant overall if you like summer-like conditions. then tomorrow warm again, 79. another shot at 80 some areas. warm and more humid tomorrow and then of course we have that shower and thunderstorm chance. now on thursday, there could be a little rain left over early in the morning. we'll be here with storm tracker 6 live double scan tracking it for you if it's still around but in general we're looking at drying then on thursday. probably stays fairly cloudy. after that friday, saturday and sunday all look great. we are going to dip back into the 60's on sunday, though, so a limited warm ride but warm ride nonetheless. >> better than nothing. >> right. >> thank you, david. it is now 5:40 and next up midair emergency. a flight is forced to turn around when part of the plane's walls starts to come

apart. >> catholic pitch shops may have offered a sign that the church is softening its stance on gays. karen. >> we're in northeast philadelphia here, woodhaven road at academy road. traffic moving nicely but we're getting word of a new accident. chopper 6 headed there. we'll have details when we come out west. >> a farmer out west holds the record for growing the -- no -- >> it's like you and i together. north a this is ceo tom macarthur's world. in macarthur's world, he opposes new laws to ensure women receive equal pay for equal work. and macarthur opposes a woman's right to choose backed by a group that would outlaw abortion

"action news" has just learned that are a firefighter was injured in this fire in philadelphia's tacony section. that firefighter apparently suffered from heat exhaustion. that firefighter apparently torresdale hospital. you're taking a look at the 4700 block of vista street and as you can see there at least one home has been damaged by this fire. we're continuing to monitor any new developments and bring them to you as they come in and of course katherine scott is head thread and she'll have a live report just ahead. >> let's turn now to karen rogers and traffic. good morning, karen. >> good morning. we're getting word of an accident just coming in right now, a multi vehicle accident in northeast philadelphia, cottman avenue near the boulevard. chopper 6 headed to the scene right now to check it out. but in the meantime stick to tyson avenue as your alternate. that in northeast philadelphia. now we'll check your suburban traffic report and go live in montgomeryville and we're looking good. some of the roads still a

little bit damp here. this is throw 09 at dekalb pike. no major delays or problems. if you're coming from quakertown or perkasie you have a nice easy ride right now on 309. let's go back to the maps and take you to haverford here in delaware county. manoa road will close between darby road and earing ton road from 9:00 until 3:00 and it's going to last through the ends of december so watch for that as they do that water main installation out there. stick to brookline as your alternate its a free ride on the atlantic city expressway eastbound so no problem at the egg harbor tolls and the pleasantville tolls each tuesday in october no tolls being collected so that's pretty good. time for your commuter traffic report which you can be a part of when you download the free waze app. and we know so many of the potholes got fixed from that nasty winter but still talking about one out here so look for it on 422 eastbound near sanatoga so watch for that. let's check the visibility reports and see if we have any fog in spots. 10-mile visibility at philadelphia international airport. so you know that's no problem but only a half mile visibility in mount pocono.

about 2-mile visibility in reading. so, as you're headed out you just want to watch for that. temperature-wise it's not too bad right now. temperatures are good 9 degrees warmer than they were yesterday morning in the city and even more than that no northwest. when you're starting off already in the mid 60's in some spots like pottstown, tam. >> thank you, karen. developing right now, the defense is questioning at least one more witness in the sentencing phase of the oscar pistorius trial. a psychologist testified yesterday that the former olympian is a broken man. pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide for the shooting death of his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. that's the equivalent to manslaughter in america. the prosecution could begin calling witnesses later dan pistorius faces up to 15 years behind bars. >> a woman was killed in a crash along i-95 in bucks county. "action news" just obtained new photos from the crash which happened yesterday afternoon. 44-year-old lisa dimaio of turnersville new jersey tied when her jeep liberty hit a

guardrail went airborne and flipped. police say an early 2000 model black sedan had pulled in front of dimaio's jeep and hit the brakes. dimaio swerved and crashed along the southbound lanes of 95 near woodhaven road in bensalem. >> new this morning, a problem with a plane's air duct is the suspected cause of an emergency landing in california. one passenger aboard the san francisco to dallas flight posted that photo to his facebook page before the plane turned around. you can see the cabin's interior panels pulling apart from the walls. the plane landed safely but the commotion inside the cabin rattled passengers' nerves. >> looking around trying to figure out what's going on. sounded like bowling balls were falling from the overhead bin. >> none of the 184 passengers and six crew members aboard the american airlines flight were hurt. >> time right now is 5:47 and a very plump pumpkin scattered showers the scales at awayoff out west. even the farmer was surprised at the size.

>> intense flames devour a delaware county. it left three people hurt including a firefighter. david. >> we're in the 60's this morning, really not all that cool but probably cool enough for a light jacket. there might be a little fog in some neighborhoods especially north and west. not a big problem everywhere. this afternoon shorts and t's. numbers are going up, up, up. we'll have them for you

>> well, this is one gigantic gourd. >> well, this is one gigantic 2,058 pounds which break the north american record for the heaviest pumpkin. the california farmer who grew it says he knew it was big but had no idea it would be a record breaker. he won more than $13,000 for his prize pumpkin. >> that's a lot of pie. >> no idea what his secret is.

>> it is. >> it is a lot of pumpkin pie or a big old jack-o-lantern. >> or both. >> let's take a look outside and check out delaware county. this is the blue route at macdade boulevard. no problems coming down from saint davids, upper darby, you're looking good this morning with traffic moving nicely. septa regional rails the first trains are on time but delays are possible if there are any wet leaves on the tracks leading to any slippery conditions so something we'll watch for dave. >> probably something to watch for on the roads, too, karen. storm tracker 6 live double scan has shown us we're dry today. we might have a little fog up until about 9 o'clock particularly in the northern and western suburbs but it will be mild. if you're catching the bus orr el 69 degrees by 9 o'clock, 76 degrees by noon. and there is your summer like high, a high of 78 degrees this afternoon, some urban centers might push up to 80 today and 75 degrees by 6 o'clock. i want to give you another look at the airport. still not seeing any major delays developing but i do want to point out that there are some showers in chicago and we actually have some thunderstorms that have now

popped up in atlanta so if you're heading out to the midwest probably want to check with the airline just in case that line of showers and thunderstorms slows you down, tam. >> okay, thank you david. protesters pressed on despite heavy rain in ferguson missouri during a four-hour demonstration yesterday. that's how long michael brown's body was left in a street after he was shot by an officer there in august. nearly 50 people were arrested yesterday including civil rights activist cornell west. it was the final day of the ferguson october protests across the saint louis area. and investigators are working to pinpoint what sparked an inferno in clifton heights delaware county.
